Have you guys considered that they're changed the release date and this is a back-pedal they hope to make look intentional?

Look closely at those pictures, they haven't been photoshopped.

Means its most likly 99% oog because of the date it was registered on August 27th, or something like that. Meaning someone created this after the trailer and whatnot was released

Looks like a gamejack. The flash files for both 1-18-08.com and slusho.jp have been completely decompiled several times. It's child's play to recreate the sites when you can simply download the components. If they were truly related, the pictures would have updated simultaneously, not after it was mentioned that the new pic was missing. Plus, what date would 0-00-00 refer to? Confused

I did a comparison and I challenge you to do the same yourself, if you have the tools to do it.
I took screenshots of the first pic as shown on each site, zoomed in to 708% where you can see the actual pixels in each image. They are not the exact same renderings for sure. A common way to spot an edit, even a VERY careful one (as these appear to be) is that the editor fails to set the image editor (if it even has the option) not to reinterpret all the pixels in the image. the result is a grid of pixels that doesn't match the original. I also overlayed the two images as layers, and a few of the numbers on the 1-18-08.com image appear to have artifacts in the 0-00-00.com image. You can compare this by putting the 1-18-08 image as top layer and slide the opacity up and down between about 5% and 0%.
What set me into this research was the comment by LeithNoweder:

When I did so, I immediately noticed the lack of the border on the 0-00-00 images. When I pulled up pic_1.swf on both, I noticed the brightness is also not the same. They almost appeared to be different color depths, but on my Mac it's apparent they aren't.
Being the enterprising person I am, I did in fact load both images from the respective flashes into Photoshop itself. Neither has Exif data, and they are both the same DPI. When you look at them both zoomed in enough to see the pixels, you'll see a cubic pattern of pixels creating a sort of 'grid'. That pattern is what should match anywhere but where the timestamps have been placed on the images. Speaking of which, based on the way the font has been rasterized into the images, I'd say they are absolutely added later. I figured they would have just set the date on the camera wrong, but it would appear they did not. Maybe they were worried about the Exif data not matching Wink but they were smart enough to leave that out.

So you're saying it isn't legit?

Why would someone go through the work of creating the site? what would they have to gain?
